Got a GP appointment in two weeks and I genuinely don't know what to bring. Like, I know I should have some kind of record but every month it's different and I can't tell if that's useful information or just chaos? I've started scribbling things down. How heavy (I've been doing the whole 'how many pads in how many hours' thing because I read that somewhere). Whether I had to leave work early. Whether I could actually function or just sort of existed on the sofa eating toast. The fatigue is the bit I really want to talk about because the bleeding I can describe, but trying to explain to someone that you are SO tired you can't think straight, for days at a time, around your period... I feel like it'll come out wrong and they'll just nod and say it's normal. Which I'm already pre-annoyed about tbh. Did anyone else track the fatigue impact specifically before their appointment? Like did you write down 'couldn't drive', 'missed a meeting', 'left school run to my partner because I couldn't face it'? I want to make it concrete, not just 'I feel tired', because I know how that lands. Also been trying to eat more iron-rich stuff on heavy days, mostly lentil soup and spinach with whatever because I can't be doing complicated cooking when I feel like that. Not sure if it's helping but it's something. Any advice on what actually made your GP take you seriously would be genuinely appreciated x
